"In moderate doses, skepticism stimulates the search for truth; in immoderate doses, it inhibits such a search."
- Mario Bunge, The Skeptical Inquirer, July/Aug. 2000, p.6)

"A powerful reason for finding fault with debunkers who call themselves skeptics is that they are skeptical only in the one direction."
- Henry Bauer, Science or Pseudoscience, p.221
